I'm kind of on the same boat (lol) as you. Was introduced to the series when it first started airing on Toonami wayy back in theearly 2000's (the golden days...). But recently I've started to catch up with the manga and some of the major anime points of interest (Amazon Lily, White Beard War, etc.). Definitely a very fun and creative series!
Also! If you're looking for more One Piece content, check out a youtuber called Sawyer7mage. He does reviews on various manga chapters (Naruto and One Piece mainly), anime episodes/series, and other things too (like Game of Thrones episodes)! He's personally my favorite; he's basically like another Forneverworld (another good reviewer) but very clever and funny (witty comedy of course, not dumb flailing around).
